About the Knife Designer
Kit Carson of Vine Grove, Kentucky, is a retired professional soldier,
rising to the level of Sergeant Major. He has made knives for 30 years
and has been a full-time knifemaker since 1993. He is a voting member of
the Knifemakers’ Guild. Kit has been an avid hunter and fisherman for
over 40 years, growing up enjoying the woods and trout streams in the
mountains of north Georgia. About his philosophy of knife design, he
says: “I strive to follow form and function in the knives I design and
build. My reputation has been built around solid working knives, both
fixed blade and folders. All the time spent outdoors as a young man and
the time spent around the world with the Army has strongly influenced
the knives I create.” Nothing reflects this approach more than the
Carson Design of our M16 series, which is built for function, not to
follow fads. This highly successful knife series was named one of the
Top 10 Factory Tactical Folders of the Decade by Blade magazine. The
M16-14M recently won a comparison test conducted by Germany’s Messer
magazine.
